CALL FOR PAPERS NINTH INTERNATIONAL F. SCOTT FITZGERALD CONFERENCE LONDON,
U.K. 8-14 JULY 2007 The Ninth International F. Scott Fitzgerald Conference
will be held in London, from 8 through 14 July 2007. Senate House, near
Russell Square in Bloomsbury, will be the conference center where panels
and plenary sessions will be held.

Proposals are invited on any aspect of Fitzgerald studies. We would,
however, particularly welcome such subjects as Fitzgerald's reputation in
England, the influence of British writers on his work, including Keats,
Conrad, and the Victorian novelists, and British writers of the 1920s whom
Fitzgerald admired.

We are seeking contributions for a collection of essays (to present for
publication in 2007) which will address the status of the workshop model in
creative writing and composition. The workshop model has been around for a
long time. Has it become static or is it alive and well in our writing
classes? What's working and what's not? What is its aim, purpose, and
future? How do teachers keep workshops fresh and productive? What innovative
techniques are used in conjunction with the workshop model?

Contributors should contact Dianne Donnelly-Smith at djsmith_at_mail.usf.edu.

Deadline for submission is 11/08/06.

The journal /qui parle/ is seeking submissions for a special dossier,
"Urban Intercessions: The City as Limit Politics." The dossier will
focus on how we could imagine the effects and conditions of violence or
